Granite & Marble Specialties

We had a great experience. Glenn Davis took a lot of time to review in-stock quartz slab options with us for the kitchen and wet bar, and even more time finding the perfect remnant for two of our bathroom countertops. There were a lot of gorgeous stone options to choose from. Sink options were somewhat limited but very satisfactory and well-priced. Everything went by the numbers. Selection/purchase through installation took no more than two weeks. The process included a guy who spent a couple of hours making stone-cutting templates from the existing countertops, which was great because our contemporary home includes some unusual angles -- and the results were perfect. The installers cut sink and fixture holes on site. We appreciated that they called our attention to a few detail issues that we hadn't considered and educated us so we could make informed decisions. Installation took the better part of a day, and they cleaned up after themselves when all was finished. We have another renovation project in our not-too-distant future, and we look forward to working with Granite and Marble Specialties again.

Their work was excellent and timely. They are also very friendly and helpful. I recommend them highly.

We met with Connie who helped us pick out a beautiful quartz countertop. They came out and did a wonderful job installing the countertop with a barely visible seam that they lined up with our sink so you can't even see it. However, our kitchen sink (farmhouse drop in) didn't fit exactly. They came out within a week at no additional charge and fixed it perfectly, better than if it would have been perfect the first time. Will probably be keeping this countertop forever, but if we needed a new one, I would definitely go through them again.

Everyone I dealt with at Granite and Marble Specialties in both the Kent and Seattle locations were very helpful and professional. They were very responsive to all my questions and were great with scheduling. The fabricators did a great job and the installation was done by 2 polite, hardworking men. They returned immediately to smooth out a small seam that I noticed was rough soon after they left my home. The slab looks beautiful and I'm very happy with my selection and the careful way it was fabricated to keep the pattern going in the right direction.

They didn't quite cut the counter top right.

Granite & Marble Specialties were responsive, professional and friendly, did a tricky cut with the corner of the and it's seamless. It is awesome!

They have a large selection with very knowledgeable staff who walked us through the different products and recommendations for what we should be looking for. We decided to go with this company since our contractor recommended them and their pricing seemed comparable to other vendors, however they had more of a selection. The ordering process was very simple and they were able to schedule the template measurement and eventual installation within a few weeks, which was much appreciated since we were without countertops until then. There was a minor hiccup with how we wanted our island countertop cut that our contractor thankfully caught and instructed them to re-cut again, which they did promptly. All in all, we were pleased with the service.

I would hire again - see above

Called ahead to see if they could come early. Did beautiful install of bathroom vanity tops with sinks. Nice smooth edges all around. Total cleanup. Have used them before for kitchen countertop. Again, excellent work. Even took it back when they found a crack in it to replace the whole countertop. Would definitely recommend them and will use again.

They have many samples of granite, marble and quartz. We chose quartz. After we chose what we wanted, they came out and measured our kitchen counters and made a pattern. A couple of weeks later the installers came and installed the new countertops. Everyone at the shop was very helpful and took time with us. We went there three times before we finally made a decision because we wanted to look at other stores. We think we got the best deal through Granite and Marble Specialties.

Installation was smooth, professional and well done!

Great experience working with Kurt and team at Granite & Marble Specialties. They helped us select a beautiful granite for our kitchen countertops and worked with us though the templating, fabrication and final installation. They were prompt, responsive, punctual and professional. There were some unexpected challenges during the actual install but they worked around them patiently and stayed really late to finish the project on the same day. Would highly recommend!

From start to finish, this was a pleasant experience working with Granite & Marble Specialties and all their employees. It was a leap for us to purchase the deal with no prior contact with provider. After purchase, Ed, the owner, got back to us within hours (it would probably have been less, but I was up and ordered very early.) He was very pleasant asking pertinent questions: approximate size, type of sink and did we want them to remove the old counters. The deal as presented stated that the cost for cutting the sink hole for the under mount sink and removing/disposing of old counter tops would be an additional $100.00 each. We opted to have both items added to our deal. Sales tax was added to the entire order. No surprises. Steve, our liaison for scheduling called shortly after Ed provided a written invoice for our approval, and we were set up for not only templates, but installation. He called to remind us the day before each event. Very pleasant! We actually drove to the show room in Kent to pick our granite slab. Many choices were available. Ed showed us around and let us take all the time we needed for making our decision.. I would recommend this as each slab can be different. Octovio the company's template maker arrived at the appointed time on April 1st. Within an hour, he had built a template of each countertop. With wood strips and a glue gun. It was fascinating to watch, as we have had granite installed several times before, never had we seen it done in this way. He left with his templates and our under mount sink. Installation was scheduled for April 8th. Installers Jeremey and Temo arrived on the 8th, and started removing the countertops in a small kitchen space. The previous owner had purchased the appliances so they had to work around them. The exciting moment, in came the granite slabs, and Octovio had really made the templates to fit....amazing fit. They mounted the sink, cleaned the granite, drilled the single sink hole I had requested (part of the deal) and sealed it. They were off to another job. Left our kitchen clean. Both men exercised great care to not damage appliances or cupboards. Job well done!! Thank you.

NOTE: The $3,599 coupon price doesn't include tax or the $150 demo charge. Comes out to be closer to $4100. Still a good price for 70 sq ft of granite. Ordering and installing was easy. Turn ed it around in 2 weeks. Looks great. Pro Tip: Remove all your dishes from your cupboards. I wish they would have told us to do that. They got granite "dust" everywhere. For $150 worth for demo, you would think they could bring a shop vac to vacuum up the mess that make. Would easily use these folks again, though. No hard feelings. Great deal, great price, good product.

My wife and I had spent a few months researching different companies to replace our existing laminate countertops and almost gave up. The kitchen companies were not too interested in us because we simply wanted a countertop replaced and not the entire kitchen. Most of them were also booked several months out. We contacted a number of different stone places, but most were indifferent or their prices were too high. Upon reading a number of favorable reviews online, we decided to get an estimate from Granite and Marble Specialties in Kent. I e-mailed my measurements to GAMS one evening and I couldn't believe it when I had a proposal from Millie the following morning. Best of all, the price was very competitive with some others that we had received. Plus, they were able schedule our job when we needed to have it done. Kressi was our sales representative and she was a joy to work with. She showed us samples of the countertops that they had in stock and also helped us to coordinate our backsplash. Jeremy built the template and performed the installation. Even though he had to take out our existing countertops, he was very careful not to damage any of the cabinets, etc., while he was doing it. When the job was completed, we were very happy with the results as our kitchen looked "like new." In talking with each member of the staff, I got the feeling that each one was very proud of the work that they did and it showed in the final result. It would be a mistake not to check these guys out if you are looking to put in a new countertop.

After contacting them, Steve was able to stop by our house in a couple of days. Steve is an extremely nice man and was able to give us ideas regarding the design of the kitchen countertops, sink, and backsplash. He was extremely knowledgeable and was able to answer all my questions regarding quartz, edge cuts, sinks, maintenance, etc. We worked with Connie and their owner who gave us a great price for the quartz and sink we wanted. We also worked with Octavio who was very efficient and professional in getting the exact template measurements. Octavio's measurements were dead on as the large pieces of the countertop fit perfectly during installation. On installation day, we got to work with Vincent and Adrian. Vincent and Adrian went above and beyond their normal duties to make sure the job was done professionally. They showed up early, rolled out rugs so that they didn't dirty your house, and worked extremely hard to make sure you were satisfied. Total turn around time for our project from contacting them to getting everything installed was 2 weeks. All that along with a great price, I can't ask for anything better. This is a great team to work with!

Very good. I had missed several calls from them with scheduling, but they were very nice and professional and got me on the schedule when it was most convenient for me. They came in and did a beautiful job....my counters looked amazing. I will definately call them again.

That service turned out fine. They only did the service for the granite around the sink. He has some acetone and a razor. Then he put a sealer on it. It was an okay service, but it needed to be taken down and resurfaced. He was a nice guy and he was informative too. It took him about half an hour to do the service.

We were very pleased when we talked to them. We got the granite and we also used the granite countertops for the kitchen and the bathroom downstairs. We also got two new sinks from them. And we were very pleased. They came out, they put together a template of the whole area and then they came out and installed it. We were very pleased with them. We will definitely use them again. The quality of their work made it such a good experience for us and how it looked after it was installed. We were very very particular on how things will look and we were very pleased with the way it came out and the overall quality of the installation. Their price was really good.

It was not what I expected. He did his job, but we thought he was going to seal up where the granite came together. Other than that, he did a good job. There were no problems with their customer service or with scheduling.

Template for kitchen counters was made one week after purchase of deal and I had new Granite counters the following week. The team for template measure, install and selection of Granite was very professional, helpful and even early for both appointments!! I would highly recommend this group to anyone needing new counters and I will definitely use them when we redo our bathrooms.

The end result was good. I had Octavio out who removed the old remnants of the sealer on the granite and applied new sealer. It wasn't entirely clear that what I had was sealer on the granite but Octavio removed it with good results. On the downside coordinating with the provider was difficult. I contacted them via angies mail, email (twice) and called them 3 times. The third time I got someone and was called back to schedule the work. Getting a hold of someone took about 3 weeks. I felt like the Angies deal I bought was something they did as a company but didn't have much interest in the fulfillment of. The appointment I had was at 4PM. The provider arrived at 6:30PM. So not super punctual. I am surmising that larger jobs get priority etc. and since this job was small it ran into issues.

They were friendly and nice however, I think they are very busy and it will take more time than we thought. Therefore, we have decided to go with someone else.

The person who came out to measure was great. He gave me some ideas which I incorporated. It took about 2 1/2 weeks for the counters to be done (not the 3 they thought) and a morning to put them in. Looks great. Regrets: we didn't upgrade the sink and no company seals the backsplash to the wall.

In the end, we did not end up going with Granite & Marble since we found a fabricator who we thought better understood our wants and needs without all the back and forth on our estimate.
